Landlord/Tenant laws in PA (Allegheny County)

[Andrea Campo]

Hi Everyone, 

I am having troubles finding the landlord/tenant laws for the Allegheny County in PA. The only document I have found is "The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951" (https://www.legis.state.pa.us/...).

Is there anything else I need? 

Any advice on where to find the appropriate documents would be much appreciated!

Thank you, 

Andrea

Landlord laws are usually established at the State level. You'll occasionally find some laws at the City level or from an HOA.

Here's PA law: https://www.nolo.com/legal-enc...

Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO. Written by attorney investors, it's full of practical advice pertaining to management of investment property, has sample forms that can be edited, and - most importantly - they tell you what your primary state laws are and where you can read them. It's updated every year and is the best $40 you'll spend as a Landlord. There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California.
